All I Ever Wanted Was Love

Ever since I was a little bitty baby all I ever wanted was love

You thought that I needed a lot more maybe

But all I ever needed was love

The memories of my childhood I recall

As the very most favorite times of all

Was sittin' and rockin' on my daddy's knee

Or when my mother made a new dress for me

Or when my dear old grandpaw sung with me

Or when my grandmaw baked a berry pie for me

Or when a boyfriend chased me up a tree

Think it over baby maybe then you'll see

Ever since I was a little bitty baby

All I ever wanted was love, love, love, love

All I ever wanted was love.

When you walked into my life you told me

That all you could give me was love

Remember how I laughed and I cried

And told you all I ever wanted was love

I don't know why you thought I needed wealth and fame

I promise I was happy just sharin' your name

But soon you bought a great big house for me

Every other room had a color TV

You hired a cook to bake our daily bread

You even had another woman makin' our bed

Material possessions didn't matter to me baby

I'm so sorry you couldn't see

Ever since I was a little bitty baby

All I ever wanted was love, love, love, love

All I ever wanted was love...
